Visual discrimination thresholds for time to arrival.
In a seminal article, Todd (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance 7:795-810, 1981) reported a difference threshold of about 50 ms to discriminate the times of arrival of two differently sized objects that simultaneously approached head-on at constant but different velocities. Subsequent investigators, however, have often found much higher thresholds. We did one co...
متن کاملMeasuring visual form discrimination with blur thresholds.
A method is described for gauging the discriminability of spatial forms. Rather than challenging form discrimination by size reduction as is done in testing visual acuity, the maximum image degradation by blurring is determined that still allows shape recognition. The procedure has the advantage that tests are substantially independent of optical (resolution) and retinal (light-processing) stag...
متن کاملDissociation of discrimination thresholds for time to contact and for rate of angular expansion.
It is well known that, if a rigid sphere is moving at constant speed towards the eye along the line of sight then, for small values of theta, T = theta/theta, where T is the time to contact, theta is the instantaneous angular size and theta is the rate of increase of angular size. We describe a rationale and an experimental procedure for demonstrating empirically when subjects base discriminati...
متن کاملInfant direction discrimination thresholds
Although adults can detect direction differences as small as 1 arc degree, the ability of infants to discriminate direction of motion is less clear. This study measures the precision with which 6-, 12-, and 18-week-old infants discriminate direction of motion. Infants viewed random dot kinematograms in which a direction difference between the target and background dots defined a circular target...
متن کاملArrival time to stroke unit as crucial a measure as arrival time to emergency department.
Arrival Time to Stroke Unit as Crucial a Measure as Arrival Time to Emergency Department To the Editor: We concur with Alexandrov in her recent editorial that “late arrival to the hospital after the onset of acute stroke symptoms is a plague of unheralded proportion. . . ”.1 We are currently conducting a large multicenter, clustered randomized trial in 19 acute stroke units in NSW, Australia.2 ...
